Subject: Presidents use too many pens to sign bills
Result: censored

Dear Editor,

I don't know when Presidents started using twenty pens to sign every bill that reaches
their desk, with about two pens per letter of their name, it looks like, but I believe
it totally detracts from the dignity of the office. Plus, who pays for all those pens?
They probably aren't too cheap. That's besides the fact that there is not one thing in
the new tax bill negotiated and signed by President Obama that I like.

Thank you, John Vehon
